South Side Ballroom

Profile

Formerly known as Gilley’s and the Palladium Ballroom, this old honky-tonk is attracting an edgy, younger crowd to match the shiny new name. When an alternative rock band isn’t overtaking the place, you’ll find SMU students and Uptown hipsters drinking beer on the patio. Don’t plan to linger after the music stops—that’s when it closes.
